Are UGC Entitled colleges automatically UGC approved?

No, UGC entitled colleges are not automatically UGC approved. UGC entitlement refers to certain rights and privileges granted to colleges based on criteria set by the University Grants Commission. However, for a college to be considered UGC approved, it must meet specific standards and complete the necessary accreditation processes.

I am assuming that you want to ask whether the universities who are claiming that it is approved by the UGC are actually approved by the UGC or not. See, there could be two scenarios of this situation, The first scenario is a university claiming to be UGC-approved is actually approved by the UGC and earning a degree from such a university will be valid and the second scenario is that the university claiming to be UGC-approved might not have an approval for the UGC. In this case, a degree earned from such a university would be considered invalid. 

Now, the question raises how you can check whether the online university is UGC- approved or not

You need to only follow these simple steps such as:

1. Go to the UGC website.
2. Find the "Universities" section on the homepage.
3. Click on "Universities" to see the list of recognized universities.
4. Use the search function to find your university's name.
5. Check if your university is listed among the UGC-approved institutions.
